nice cue....what an offer you have made...ur a good man
I'm positive Purdman's life is blessed far more than most men...he shows an unequaled human compassion. Very rare in this day & time. Most might understand a used Cuetec...but this man sends him a Richard Black without a moments hesitation. Maybe one day we can all be such a stellar individual and realize whats truly important in life. I understand you may very well have a 12ga coming to you as a token of appreciation Purdman. With your gift I don't believe he feels the need for it anymore. ;)

Well Chris, it was signed Richard Black, 1994 and it has a radial pin. I just don't know what to tell you.:rolleyes: It has the guys name it was made for on it. Varney is going to refinish it and remove it (the name) I think. It's a damn nice cue!

Could of been a mod done by a previous owner. There are a bunch of Schon's, Joss's, and the like, running around with big pins due to me. If it is a conversion...looks like a fine job to me. Regardless...its a fantastic cue. Come to think of it...in the late 90's, I remember seeing a Stroud cue with the radial pin...and it was several years old. If I'm not mistaken...Billy created the radial pin.

Kevin, you let us know what you think when you recieve the cue. Kinda like solving a mystery. Hey, we have the name of the guy it was custom made for, we know who made it, easy enough to solve, ask Richard. LOL
No problem mon. Hell, if the kid don't like it, I have a few cheeper cues he can have. It's the real deal folks. No big deal.

oh no.. nothing wrong with it.. its a very nice cue.. i would love to own one.. i just was curious.. i always thought they were relativley new.. but if you guys say you seen older cues with them.. i can understand that.. i am sure it will look amazing when Varney is done with it...

I wasn't taking offence my friend, I been buying and selling cues for 9 years and this is the first Black I ever bought. I paid $700 for it on E-Bay and have had it for a while. I honestly think it plays so well that somebody ought to use it. I probably over paid for it but that is a moot point. I know where my heart is at and I don't care what happens to the cue. Taken the right way and it ain't nothing but a blessing. Life is about teaching and learning, when your done with that, we move on. There are probably 1000 lessons that just might be learned from this. I don't care, I did the best I could. I honestly have GAS ( Give A Shtt) for you, where ever you are or whatever you are doing. Hit em straight! Rock On all AZ IPT players. Life is wonderful.
